This week, the critics unpack Avengers: Endgame with the help of Jamelle Bouie, and reflect on the legacy of the Marvel Cinematic Universe at the conclusion of this 22-film cycle. They debate whether it’s possible to evaluate the final installment on its own merits and how well the franchise as a whole has succeeded in humanizing its superheroic protagonists. Next, the gabbers take on Fosse/Verdon, the FX miniseries that traces the Broadway legends’ tempestuous personal and professional relationship. Finally, John August of Scriptnotes explains the unprecedented conflict playing out between Hollywood screenwriters and their agents as well as its likely consequences for both the industry and audiences.
